Go Build Alabama launches job board for skilled trades

BIRMINGHAM — Skilled trades. Perhaps an underappreciated sector of the job market.

But, someone has to build the stores for the retail industry.

Someone has to build the office buildings.

Someone has to install the electrical, HVAC, plumbing in those buildings.

That someone is in the skilled trades.

To answer the demand for skilled workers, Go Build Alabama has launched the Go Build Alabama Job Board, an innovative platform designed to simplify the job-search process for career seekers and construction employers across the state.

Offering a wide range of skilled trade job opportunities, from craft/field positions to administrative and sales roles, this centralized job board aims to strengthen Alabama’s workforce and economy.  

“The launch of the Go Build Alabama Job Board is a major step in our mission to connect skilled workers with top job opportunities throughout the state,” said Jason Phelps,  executive director of the Alabama Construction Recruitment Institute. “By offering a convenient platform for both career seekers and employers, we’re reshaping the hiring  landscape and helping more people find the right jobs for their skills.” 

The Go Build Alabama Job Board is a free resource providing a user-friendly experience for  applicants and employers. Career seekers can easily upload to their profile, customize search filters to find jobs that match specific preferences and apply to multiple positions. Career seekers can begin their job search by creating an applicant profile

The job board is intended to support existing hiring and HR processes, ensuring employers  find the best-qualified leads quickly and effectively. This includes access to a comprehensive list of interested candidates, along with the ability to rate applicants, leave  recruitment notes and efficiently track candidate applications within one platform. 

“Those involved in the hiring process will find the job board to be an invaluable tool,” said Phelps. “With features that streamline the recruitment process, it’s easier than ever to discover and connect with qualified candidates, ensuring the continued growth of  businesses across Alabama.” 

Alabama-licensed commercial and industrial construction employers can post job  openings by requesting access. This process consists of providing basic company information and confirming an email address. Approval typically takes 3-5 business days and employers will have the opportunity to update their company page with social media  links, company overviews and logos during that time.
